Egyptian (1989) is this offbeat documentary that dives into the world of Mikhail Mikhailovich Potapov, an artist from Solikamsk. He claims to be the reincarnation of Pharaoh Akhenaten's eldest daughter. The film has this gentle, almost whimsical tone that really lets you soak in Potapov's unique worldview. The pacing is slow, which mirrors the introspective nature of the subject. You get a sense of his passion for painting the pharaohs, and the practical effects, while not flashy, add a nice touch to the overall vibe. It’s definitely distinctive, showcasing a blend of art and mysticism that’s hard to forget.
